There's no error message, changing resolution etc via conf.exe doesn't seem to effect anything.
I thought maybe someone has had similar issues and or can tip a quick fix. The game just leaves me with a small gray box on the upper left corner ofthe screen (as if the problem was resolution related) and control panel insists that the game is running (or at least using cpu).

Help, hjälp, hilfe, apuva perkele. thx in advance.

A small "update". Deleting ddraw.dll and or creating ddraw_change_resolution.txt (or enable windowed mode) for it allows me to play... But only on 1024x768 or lower resolutions, which i don't find very optimal... Dunno, maybe just learn to play on low res

Yep. Was the 1st thing i tried. Sadly it didn't make no difference. Tried also updating display drivers, go through it's settings and allowing all related stuff (at least theones i think are relevant) for eol.exe on the system. The answer is probably obvious or ez, but orka more at this point.

I bought the game recently and upgraded it to EOL. The problem is that I can not run the game under Win10. I just get the talkative error message "Sorry, internal error.". I tried many different resolutions, that does not seem to be the problem. I also tried this DXGL workaround, but I could not make it work either. Chances are I'm just a complete nab.

Could someone provide a detailed guide on how to make it work with DXGL? Or any other ideas, solutions?

Do you have ddraw.dll in your Elma folder? Try this and see if it helps (simply put the ddraw.dll in your Elma folder and start eol.exe).

For some people both of them do the job, for some just one, so you're best giving both of them a try.

FYI: the first one (13kB) tends to break the internal editor (make it all glitchy), but retain high fps, while the other one ("win10" - 253kB) doesn't break the internal editor, but significantly lowers the fps.

Wow, how have I not known about this before! Thanks, now I can finally make levels again

Works! I failed to upgrade to EOL properly. The install guide is a bit misleading (was for me at least), saying:

2. Extract the zip into your Elma folder.

The problem is, the content of the zip file is an EOL folder. So if you extract the zip, you get an EOL folder in your Elma directory, which is not good. So you have to extract the CONTENT of the folder. The message.inf was the savior, saying something about small.abc missing, indeed in cryptic hungarian. I'm hungarian myself, but the error message just does not make any sense
